Beauty411 Favorite Beauty Products of 2009

Is it really the end of 2009?  To a beauty blogger, that just means "on to bigger and better" in terms of beauty products. After testing hundreds of products this year, I've done the work for you to find the best of the best. 

Looking back, it's been a great year in beauty.  Innovative products, creative packaging and exciting technology, particularly in skincare.  Expect those trends to continue in the upcoming year as brands try to edge each other out for the consumer's attention (and dollars!).

Here are some of my favorite beauty products of 2009:

Orlane Absolute Radiance Lightbox: Cinderella Skin in 7 Minutes!

Orlane Paris has introduced the Absolute Radiance Lightbox, a skincare solution that promises to deliver more beautiful skin in 7 minutes.  Cinderella skin in 7 minutes?  Sign me up!

The Orlane Absolute Radiance Lightbox contains Absolute Radiance Dazzling Eye Ritual, which consists of Eye Contour Serum & Under-Eye Patches;  Shimmering Skin Masque + Cream and Absolute Radiance Evanescent Cream.  There are six full applications within the Lightbox.

The process is simple.  I would recommend taking everything out of the box and setting up the products in order of use, so as not to waste time.  You should start by thoroughly cleansing your face.  Then apply the eye serum above and below your eyes.  Follow by applying an eye patch underneath each eye.  I tapped it into place using my ring finger and set the clock for 7 minutes.  You can feel that the patches are going to be moisturizing and hydrating; they feel cool on application.
